• Let him gird up his loins like a man. God will not ask questions which a man cannot understand. If his loins are “girt about with truth,” he can answer—as indeed he does—these questions. The very fact that Jehovah thus addresses Job shows His purposes of mercy for him. His appeal is to reason, and thus to conscience. (“Job 38-42:6” by S. Ridout)
• What is the key to all these questions? It is God, the true knowledge of Himself. Knowing Him, we know the Author and Source of all knowledge. Leave Him out of account, and the sum of all science is a blank wall, beyond which still lies the hidden truth. (“Job 38-42:6” by S. Ridout)
